Clouds this morning have been clearing and it should be fine - and too warm - this afternoon.

Tomorrow the mild conditions are expected to continue. An unseasonably 11 degrees might be recorded back down in the town area sometime tomorrow. It won't be as warm higher up of course, but the unseasonal conditions remain. Freezing level might be rising up to as high as 1900m tomorrow and Monday. It should be back down to something more like come Tuesday though with snow forecast for that day.

Fingers crossed!
